Beautiful, Vintage, Copeland Spode, Tower... Welcome to the 106th Tablescape Thursday!

Happy Tablescape Thursday! How was your day? Are you looking forward to a nice long Labor Day weekend? Any cookouts planned? I hope whatever you do...it's fun and relaxing. Enjoy these last treasured days of summer. I'm almost in the mood for fall...but not quite. With temps still in the 90's in Georgia and the blessing of low humidity, I'm still tablescaping out on the porch.

This week I'm using a china I've never used on the porch before...well, at least not for Tablescape Thursday. I set the table with Copeland Spode, Tower and I really had no idea what I'd be using for a centerpiece.

On a recent trip to Publix Supermarket, I came across some lovely roses and thought perhaps I'd place a single rose at each place setting. Also, I spotted some sweet daisies and bought them with plans to use them in last weeks Lemonade Days post. Once home, my plans completely changed. Does that ever happen to you? :) I ended up using an urn I bought quite a long time ago to create a little arrangement. Do daisies and roses go together? Well, they do now! (LOL) Hope you enjoy!













You may recognize the Creeping Jenny from the pots out on my deck. It worked well dripping down the sides in this arrangement.







China is Copeland Spode, pattern is, Tower. This is vintage china with the old, oval Copeland Spode hallmark dating it back to the 1920's.




Four place settings have vintage ruby stemware for the iced beverage. Since I only have four of those, I mixed in two pieces of Waterford, Araglin. The wine glasses are Waterford, Crimson Hock. Salt cellars are ruby flash, also.




I'm gradually collecting monogrammed sterling napkin rings. It's kind of hard to find them with an H monogram. But isn't that the fun part...the hunt. :)




Since I only have three so far, I used a fun napkin fold for the flatware at three of the settings. Would you be interested in knowing how this fold is made? If so, I'll do a post showing how to create it.




Time for a little candlelight. I'll hush now and just let you enjoy. :)
